We have installed sql server 2012 and sql server 2014 express edition in my computer.

Now I am connecting sql server 2014 from another computer in network but that computer is connecting to the sql 2012 only not to the 2014.

I have open inbound rule for both port of sql servers. I have tried by stopping the service of sql 2012. However I can't connect to the sql 2014 from another computer.

Can anyone help me?

    How are you trying to connect? The instance name of SQL Server Express is SQLEXPRESS. Use `.\SQLEXPRESS` or `MYSERVER\SQLEXPRESS` to connect to an Express instance on a machine, `.` or `MYSERVER` to connect to the default instance. Please don't start/stop services, you'll end up corrupting something. – Panagiotis Kanavos Apr 01 '15 at 09:57
